Arrúa Questioned Daniel Pereira Mujica’s Campaign Filing in Ciudad del Este
Former senator Georgia “Nani” Arrúa called for the amounts declared before the Electoral Justice to be compared with the visible campaign deployment in the city. She also linked the debate to the judicial context surrounding former mayor Miguel Prieto.
Former Alto Paraná senator Georgia “Nani” Arrúa questioned the campaign spending declaration filed by Daniel Pereira Mujica, candidate for mayor of Ciudad del Este for the Yo Creo movement, according to La Nación Paraguay.
According to that outlet, Arrúa said on her digital platforms that political financing rules require full transparency regarding the origin and destination of funds. In that context, she called for what was officially reported to be compared with the scale of the campaign that, she said, can be seen in the streets, media and social networks.
Still according to La Nación Paraguay, the former legislator said that Pereira Mujica declared a budget of G. 100 million, made up of G. 20 million in personal savings and G. 80 million in donations from seven people not identified in the report. She also contrasted that figure with that of the ANR candidate, Rigoberto “Rigo” Chamorro, who reported G. 950 million, with G. 750 million in personal funds and G. 200 million deposited in the financial system.
Arrúa said that the difference between the declared amounts and the deployment of rallies, billboards, screens in public spaces, clothing, stickers and logistical mobilization raises questions about the accuracy of the filing, La Nación Paraguay reported.
The outlet also recalled that Pereira Mujica is part of the political space of former mayor Miguel Prieto, whom he temporarily replaced after the October 2025 elections. Prieto is facing a trial over an alleged breach of trust involving G. 2,130 million in the “Tía Chela” case and is also facing a second proceeding over an alleged loss of G. 306 million in the “Tajy” case.
